Over the next couple of months I will be running a few races and trying to raise money for St. Mungo's -

-  26 May 2013 - Edinburgh Marathon

-  22 June 2013 - the Wall. A 69 mile race along the route of Hadrians Wall between Carlisle and Newcastle. My first ultra.

-  26 October 2013 - Snowdonia Marathon

As well as running hostels and the like for homeless people, St Mungo's do a lot of support work for vulnerable people. I represented a lad early last year who was being prosecuted for begging under the Vagrancy Act 1824 (oh what a progressive society we live in...). The fact that he was being accommodated and supported by St Mungo's and that his key worker was there with him in court was almost certainly what kept him out of prison. So, please sponsor me.

For those that are interested I will be trying to do Edinburgh in 2 hrs 44 mins (which has been my goal for the last four years...) and will be trying to get from Carlisle to Newcastle in around 11-12 hrs though I as long as I finish I'll be happy enough. Snowdonia I would hope to run in sub-3hrs.
